CHAPTER NINE

The air felt warm , but a little breezy. Luke and I had arrived at the park about 15 minutes earlier there was no body I decided to wait on the swings. I like to be on the swing set it soothes me. I like to see how high I can go . Luke went for the slide the really tall one . He was always the one to just sit at the top and look down everyone .

The next few minutes went by quiet until I heard faint music coming up the street . My brother and I get off the slide and swings and meet each other at the center of the playground.

"Is that Dilan?" I scrunch my face in a confused like way, but I mostly ask myself.

And it was . Dilan was standing out of the sunroof hands out of the air and singing along to and old 90's song. I laughed he was cutely funny. The black shiny limo parked on the side of the swing set and out came the man in the black suit from the airport the first time I saw Dilan. I hadn't really thought to myself who he was. But who was he?

The man in the black suit pulled out a basket and table cloth , he walked over to one of the picnic areas setting what seems like dinner ?? . There were four place settings , but who else could be coming ? Maria answered my questioned when she walked out of the limo as well.

She came running up to me screaming " Hazel!!" She's so friendly . I gave her a hug and whispered what's going on? She had told me nothing but just sat there and smiled .

Dilan walked up to me waiting for me to be wrap my arm around his, he gave me a very pink rose , which by the way is my favorite . Anyways "shall we?" He said motioning his head towards the table .

"We shall." I say walking with him . Next thing I see is Luke and Maria hitting it off at the other two set of plates , ahh I see what's going on here. Go head brother ! . I think giggling to myself .

"I have prepared us dinner , chicken Alfredo a side of salad and for desert strawberry cheesecake. " he said.

"It smells Devine." I say smelling the air. It really did.

As soon as the main course was finished Dilan looked at me his eyes so big and green and out came the words "we have been dating for some while now, and I was thinking maybe it's time you meet my parents . It's just you mean so much to me Hazel. "

His words reply in my head, meet his parents!, meaning so much to him?! I was having an excited mental breakdown. Is that even a thing?

Dilan snaps me out of my daze "Hazel ? Will you.. Meet my parents ?"

"Yes ! " oooh I sounded to excited . "I mean yeah of course dil." There much better.

He starts to chuckle "alright great!, I'll tell you when."

That evening we spent the next few hours the four of us hanging out on the playground , it was fun. I could see Luke and Maria flirting with each other , Dilan and I snuggling at the top of the slide .

It was time to go so we all filed into the limo . Dilan told the man in the black suit to get my mothers car home safety and that we will meet him there shortly. It was about a ten 15 minute drive before we were home. It was a pretty long day , but I was happy. I fell asleep on Dilans shoulder as he played with my hair .

"We are here my sleeping beauty , " Dilan whispers in my ear .

I get up out of the car a little dizzy from getting up to quickly .

"I'll text you Hazel ." He kiss me and then gives me a hug.

My brother and I were inside the house . Sitting on the couch 8 at night , we both sigh like life couldn't be better.

"I saw you ," poking Luke in the arm " you and Maria , mhm I see what's going on there."

Laughing he says "see what there's nothing going on,well I mean she's pretty , kind, funny, sweet and friendly just amazing " he's talking about here like he's getting lost in thought.

" yehhhh !" I keep poking him in the stomach where his tickle spot is .

"I like her alright ." He admits. "What if she doesn't like me?" He questions .

"I'm sure she will I mean who coudnt I see the way she looks at you . Don't worry I'll make things happen." Giving him a wink.

"No Hazel don't say a word?" He begs .

I start to head up to my room giggling "alright , alright ! Goodnight Lukey ."
